Summary

Hour 1 Despite hopes for a Feel Good Summer Friday, the Mets' disappointing season, potentially their worst ever, is creating a nightmare for Gio and Jerry. A "loser virus" seems to have infected the team, leading to contagious losses and a sloppy performance. Gio is frustrated, throwing a helmet off the desk, and both Jerry and C-Lo share his fatigue. Gio blames Cedric Mullins' poor route for a run, while Jerry sees the Mullins trade as a mistake. Carlos Mendoza is at a loss for words. A caller suggests firing Mendoza and hiring Wally Backman, but Jerry thinks Carlos Beltran will be the next manager. Gio disagrees. A Missouri caller rubs salt in the wound, and another caller's brother-in-law, a long-time stadium worker since The Beatles' concert, will throw out the first pitch. Hour 2 Gio fears a dark October for New York sports. Jerry sees the Giants' strong defense as a playoff hope, while Gio is less optimistic about the Giants and Jets. They discuss Shedeur Sanders, a positive Jets outlook despite potential losses, and the Mets and Yankees' playoff chances. The segment covers C-Lo's update on the Mets' struggles, Lindor's urgency, Mendoza sounding like Boone, Keith Hernandez's comments, Udonis Haslem's gaffe, Sal Licata's departure, and Darryl Strawberry's reaction to Pete Alonso's "down goes Straw." They anticipate the Giants-Jets preseason game, differing on the Giants' 2025 offense. The hour concludes with a discussion on Stanley Cup craze, crazy headlines, and Boomer's temperament. Hour 3 "Feel Good Friday" features "Surfside" talk, an online beef between WFAN callers, and the Mets' lack of an ace. Social media's impact is discussed, with Eddie opting out. C-Lo provides an update, while Gio asks Fliegs about Taylor Swift's new album. Gio and Jerry recall Gio meeting Dua Lipa. Mike Francesa's birthday wish for Jay Horwitz prompts a discussion of classic WFAN prank calls and famous on-air flubs. The hour concludes with a heated exchange between Dan in Carteret and John in Maspeth. Hour 4 On a "Feel Good Friday," Gio and Jerry try to remain positive despite the Mets' disappointing season. WFAN night/overnight shows are now streaming live on YouTube, with good initial viewership. A caller's teenage son got a hole-in-one after only a few months of golfing, leading to talk about the "rowdy" Ryder Cup. C-Lo returns for an update after Jerry fails to get support from Gio and C-Lo. The Mets lost, and a fan accidentally hit the SAP button. Howie Rose commented on an LLWS video on X. The Yankees play in St. Louis tonight. A Brewers fan called 911 over a free burger promo. C-Lo plays old on-air pranks and mistakes, including one from Jerry's overnight days. Moment of the Day: Mike Francesa wishes Jay Horwitz a happy 80th on Twitter/X. Finally, Gio and Jerry compare the Giants' QB room to other NFL teams and Jerry is excited for the Mets' MLB Little League Classic.
